The city as a cure and the care of the city Landscapes of health: scenarios of urban transformation

Landscapes of health: scenarios of urban transformationThe goal of the Conference “The city as a cure and care of the city” is to link sustainable urban transformation with health issues. The pathologies in contemporary society have changed from infectious to chronic, so that obesity, diabetes, allergies and asthma have been defined as new “epidemics”, not generated by viruses but by inadequate lifestyles. Pollution, sedentariness, wrong nutrition con-tribute to the development of these diseases. The neuro-scientific and metabolic tradition places the lifestyle as a “primum movens” of health. The WHO identified obesity as “one of the greatest public health challenges in the XXI Century” and introduced the parameter of 5,000 steps daily, to stay healthy and to halve the risk of death.To ease behaviour changes it’s important to act on the habitat. Our cities - designed in modernity for the car - must reorganize according to models promoting soft mobility and virtuous behaviours, ensuring accessibility to welfare structures, an important element of recogni-tion of the European city. It looks clear that in this perspective the insistence on pedestrianism must be at the forefront of urban poli-cies. Best practices have highlighted among the result indicators the Green Attitudes and great importance is given to urban planning with interesting examples in the world.In Italy the pedestrianizations were established in the Seventies for the protection of historic centers, but today’s challenge concerns network systems on the metropolitan scale, affecting the most mar-ginal areas, where most of the population lives and particularly the more disadvantaged classes, often more predisposed to risky life-styles.The Conference wants to investigate about the relationships that exist between health, architecture and city and to compare the para-digms of modernity with those of contemporary. Two sessions, dedi-cated one to networks and the other one to welfare structures, will host contributions highlighting the themes of modern-contemporary.

1. Streets, Networks, GreenscapeGoing back to think about the structure of the road means to think about how architecture, green areas, open spaces, the system of ownership, accessibility and permeability configure the urban space and how the inhabitants live it and make it vital. It means take care of the city, just like we take care of our home. Not a new reflection for Mediterranean culture and modern criticism because since in 1934 Le Corbusier decreed “la mort de la rue”, many studies have been carried out to prove exactly the opposite. Architects such as Piero Bottoni, Aldo Van Eyck, Donald Appleyard, Kevin Lynch, Bernard Ru-dofsky and Giancarlo De Carlo have provided a teaching full of ideas for current events, returning to conceive “streets for people”. Under this point of view, green areas and abandoned open spaces gain great importance, configuring always more like a theatre of actions bottom-up that overwrite roles and characters, foreshadowing new arrangements and unexpected functions. These practices contribute to the psycho-physical well-being of society and are useful to define social and urban reactivation procedures.

2. Nodes, Actractors, HealthscapeThe modernist idea of zoning spread out in the outer hill areas of the cities - where air quality is better- the places of care. Contemporary thinking, on the other hand, focuses on the prevention of diseases and the social inclusion of the patient, minimizing hospitalization and integrating the places of education, work and socialization with he-alth care. So that a new model of community welfare is achieved, aiming at assistance distributed throughout the territory and involving new architectural typologies: multifunctional urban attractors for the-rapeutic stays, for body care and for socialization. More, the cultiva-tion of “self-made” products and the 0-km distribution are becoming an opportunity to create innovative architectures, conceived as farm buildings with greenhouses, vertical gardens and hydroponic crops that foster sociality among the elderly, young people and marginali-zed categories and that promote the psycho-neurological recovery of important pathologies, such as autism and alzheimer.
